Upon arrival we were offered the smallest room in the hotel with the option of upgrading for 35 euros. We upgraded to an apartment and then the fun began.3 geordie lasses were then offered the same deal.We were then asked to pay a 100 euro bond incase of breakages.There was nothing left to break.The cooker hood was hanging by a thread with the control panel completely broke off.There was no kettle to break. The toilet was already leaking on the bathroom floor everytime we flushed we had to mop the floor.There were not even any towels to dirty as they were already filthy.Forget about the satellite tv cos that was not coming on full stop.We made the most of it Llorett is a lovely place a bit too cloudy for my liking.Brilliant views from the rooftop. Lively/central location. Do not think we would go back there but if we do we will DEFINITLY not be staying @blanco y negro. We found the owner to be very elusive.The caretaker could not speak or understand any english.Then when you ask for your bond back the night before leaving they have the nerve to come and inspect your room. The towels were never changed nor were the sheets.Glad to be out of there.

On arrival we were surprised to see no obvious reception, however, the staff made us feel extremely welcome. The apartment although basic was clean and tidy. The jacuzzi on the roof terrace and the loungers were a great idea and you could use them up to 11.pm. Because our Spanish is so basic the staff were very helpful. The name Blanco y Negro appealed to us. We enjoyed our stay in LLoret de Mar so much we nearly stayed an extra day by mistake.
LL de Mar is great fun lively, friendly and lots and lots to do. Unfortunately we could not get a booking for Blanco Y Negro but we are going back to LLoret de mar very soon this year.

these apartments are very nice. when we first arrived there was no reception but there was a note on the wall telling us to go to room 601 that is were the manger lives. i would not recommend familys to come to these apartmens as it is in the middle of the town were all the bars and night clubs are & some nightclubs stay open until 5.00 or 6.00 in the morning. the beach is only 2 mins walk and is not a sand beach but a pebble beach which is sore on the feet.....
we went out every night for dinner and went to some lovely places, the best one was the piccadley this is a british bar and does a nice fry's with hp brown sause yum yum.
the bars we mostly spent our nights in was the queen vic, taxes and rockafellows these were all british bars and were not full of all spanish people
one more thing you have to pay 100 euros when you arrive at the appartment
i will not be back again but that was nothing to do with the appartments it was the people
enjoy x

Blanco & Negro Apartments Lloret de Mar
My wife and I had booked into these apartments for one week end of October and beginning of November 2007. After reading not so good reviews about these apartments, I was apprehensive.
I needn’t have been our apartment was spotless; we were given a studio on the sixth floor.
The lift worked all week, the kitchen had a full oven and hob. Normally we only have two rings. There were two televisions one in the sitting area and one in the bedroom. On the roof there was a sun area with two heated Jacuzzis, although in the summer not too sure about this but at this time of year they were nice. Weather wise it was chilly until about 9.00am and started to get cold about 4.00pm.
There was no receptionist, but the owner displayed set time as was always on time. She spoke very good English and acted on our behalf when I tried to contact our Spanish bus company about the pick up on our return journey.
The location of the apartments is very good, just back off the beach. They are on the edge of Lloret and our view was overlooking the centre of Lloret.
About the holiday, I booked it as a cheap getaway; the airline was Ryan Air and had no problems if you keep to their rules one suitcase 15kgs and one flight bag 10kgs. Per person (adult) mind you 10kgs hand luggage is a lot to carry. Our transfers from the airport was an experience it took just as long to go from Gerona Airport the Lloret as it did flight time. We stopped off at every resort. With not been before we put this down to a free tour. Luckily our return trip was quicker.
Lloret at this time of year was still busy, and plenty to do day and night. We never ate at the same place twice, Drinks and meals were not too expensive with wine being a good buy. On the sea front is an English bar called “The Piccadilly” which every night was a happy hour until 4.00am. Also did some nice breakfasts and meals.
If I ever went back to Lloret I would stay in these apartments again, we had a wonderful time and the people were very friendly.
